Around the world, researchers are working extremely hard to develop new treatments and interventions for COVID-19 with new clinical trials opening nearly every day. This directory provides you with information, including enrollment detail, about these trials. In some cases, researchers are able to offer expanded access (sometimes called compassionate use) to an investigational drug when a patient cannot participate in a clinical trial.
The information provided here is drawn from ClinicalTrials.gov. If you do not find a satisfactory expanded access program here, please search in our COVID Company Directory. Some companies consider expanded access requests for single patients, even if they do not show an active expanded access listing in this database. Please contact the company directly to explore the possibility of expanded access.
Emergency INDs
To learn how to apply for expanded access, please visit our Guides designed to walk healthcare providers, patients and/or caregivers through the process of applying for expanded access. Please note that given the situation with COVID-19 and the need to move as fast as possible, many physicians are requesting expanded access for emergency use. In these cases, FDA will authorize treatment by telephone and treatment can start immediately. For more details, consult FDA guidance. Emergency IND is the common route that patients are receiving convalescent plasma.
Search Tips
To search this directory, simply type a drug name, condition, company name, location, or other term of your choice into the search bar and click SEARCH. For broadest results, type the terms without quotation marks; to narrow your search to an exact match, put your terms in quotation marks (e.g., “acute respiratory distress syndrome” or “ARDS”). You may opt to further streamline your search by using the Status of the study and Intervention Type options. Simply click one or more of those boxes to refine your search.

Many critical ethical questions arise in pandemic covid 19planning, preparedness and response. These include: Who will get priority access to medications, vaccines and intensive care unit beds, given the potential shortage of these essential resources? In the face of a pandemic, what obligations do health-care workers have to work not withstanding risks to their own health and the health of their families? How can surveillance, isolation, quarantine and social-distancing measures be undertaken in a way that respects ethical norms? What obligations do countries have to one another with respect to pandemic covid 19 planning and response efforts?

National multicentric observational retrospective case-control study comparing the relative frequency of the various microorganisms responsible for VAP in patients infected or not by SARS-CoV-2 and their resistance to antibiotics.
Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences, India
To address the existing deficiencies in the knowledge regarding liver involvement and spectrum of clinical presentation and the impact of COVID-19 infection in patients of liver disease was planned. The present study will be a hospital based and the cases of confirmed COVID-19 infection will be evaluated in relation to liver involvement irrespective of pre-existing liver disease. The primary objective was to address the clinical presentation, biochemical alteration and outcomes of COVID-19 infection in subjects with chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis in comparison to those having infection in the absence of pre-existing liver disease

SARV-CoV-2 infection was considered pandemic on March 11, 2020. The SARV-CoV-2 epidemic affected France from the beginning of March, spreading in particular from a 4-day large evangelical meeting of 2500 people on February 17 in the city of Mulhouse (North East of France). The Montpellier University Hospital has set up a clinical pathway for people suspected of being infected with SARV-CoV-2 because of signs compatible with pneumonia (screening criteria in France during the study period). This includes an emergency department, an infectious disease department dedicated to the surveillance of infected people requiring hospital treatment, and an intensive care unit for the most severe cases. The diagnosis of infection with SARV-CoV-2 was confirmed in approximately 20% of people initially referred in this special care system. The main objective of this cohorte is the collection of clinical data and biological samples from care for non-interventional research on the patients with a possible or confirmed SARS-CoV -2 infection, from diagnosis to long-term follow-up.

Despite new charachersitics of COVID-19 patients, critical care implementation seems to be similar to those with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in intensive care units (ICU). Regarding the initial gravity of these patients, sedation and neuromuscular blockers are usually administrated, increasing the risk to develope an ICU-acquired weakness which is directly correlated to morbi-mortality and a burden during recovery. Respiratory symptoms are mostly related to dyspnoea and non-productive cough, with only 33% of COVID-19 patient having a bronchial hypersecretion ; consequently, chest physiotherapy is only implemented in after case-by-case evaluation. This unprecedented situation requires to identify how physiotherapy is being implemented in COVID-19 patients in ICU. This retrospective, multicentric study aims to identify the charactheristics of physiotherapy (type and time spent) implemented in Argentina, Belgium, Chili, France, Italy and Spain

It is unknown what proportion of healthy children have been exposed to SARS-Cov-2 and how many have antibodies. The aim of this study is to follow a cohort of healthy children over six months and measure their antibodies to SARS-CoV-2.
Jilin University
A study on the clinical and psychological characteristics of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-2019)
Xinqiao Hospital of Chongqing
The research aim to collect large samples of COVID-19 disease patients with clinical symptoms, laboratory and imaging examination data. Screening the biological indicators which are related to the occurrence of severe diseases. Then, investigators using artificial intelligence (AI) technology deep learning method to find a prediction model that can dynamically quantify COVID-19 disease severity.

The intense health crisis due to COVID-19 led to a profound reorganization of the activities at theatres, recovery rooms and the intensive care units. The caregivers are facing several issues and are daily exposed to an intensification of the work. Assessing the stress and the well-being of the caregivers is very important in this context.

An epidemic of pneumonia , which is thought to have developed due to a new coronavirus, was detected in Wuhan, Hubei Province of the People's Republic of China, and this epidemic could not be brought under control, leading to other provinces of China in a short time and then to a pandemic. It has spread all over the world including the European continent. Causative Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the disease caused by the new virus (novel) coronavirus-2019 (2019-nCoV) and subsequently the COVID-19. After the virus was officially detected in our country on 11 March 2020, the number of cases increased rapidly and the virus was isolated in 670 patients within 10 days. The group that is most affected by the outbreak and has the highest mortality rate is the elderly with known cardiovascular diseases. It is important to ensure the social isolation of elderly patients and to minimize all hospital applications as much as possible if they do not have life-threatening urgent problems. To this end, Turkey on 21 March 2020, 65 years of age and older people and patients with chronic curfew was implemented. Individuals moving away from social life are dealing with their body more, their level of depression and anxiety increase, and their physical functions decrease. The therapy service is offered to people who cannot travel with telerehabilitation, which is defined as the transmission of rehabilitation service to long distances by using electronic information and communication technology. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of telerehabilitation exercises given to elderly individuals on sleep quality, quality of life and balance within the scope of geriatric rehabilitation.
